			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I must admit being Irish myself that the standards of driving in this country leave a lot to be desired&#8230;.</p>
<p>Driving appears to be a new revelation here! People seem to be under the impression that the OVERTAKING lane is called a FASTLANE&#8230; Theres no such thing. Day in, day out, I come across a**holes who are of the idea that sitting in the overtaking lane is acceptable if you stay to the speed limit.</p>
<p>As far as im aware not every one living here is a member of the Garda Traffic Corps. Who are the people who think sitting in the  overtaking is ok if you are travelling at the speed limit??? They arent Garda and have no right to impede other drivers , where do they get their licenses ( lucky Dips perhaps ). Im sick of being stuck behind morons policing the roads when im constantly held up by them on my way to work.</p>
<p><span id="more-362"></span>I ask all who read this to observe drivers in the morning ( or when ever ) to count how many people REFUSE to pull into the LEFT LANE when a car approaches them in the overtaking lane, yet due to time constraints i am forced to undertake them to make it to work on time. They may think they are doing their part for road safety but a frustrated driver will take chances ( more so when they are held up by people who OWN the road).</p>
<p>These same people will then speed up to stop you undertaking them and quite happily break the speed limit at the same time&#8230;This must be the only country in the world with out a standardised learning system to bring eveyones standards to the same level. Have these people never heard of traffic flow,common courtesy,pulling into the left lane to allow others to pass?? NAHHH. I have driven in countries like germany, UK,N.Ireland even South Africa and they all have courtesy on the roads and allow faster moving cars to pass by pulling into the left lane, In fact im sure Ireland is the only country on Gods Green Earth that has a Website dedicated to shite drivers.</p>
<p>IRELAND PLEASE READ THE HIGHWAY CODE!!!!!!!!!!! Indicators seem to be faulty on most cars here too, i have many grey hairs from people just pulling into lanes without any indication what so ever, How can people who are BAD DRIVERS TEACH PEOPLE TO DRIVE!!! Lets get things regulated here with a standard set by the government which all Instructors must follow, Im Irish and Embarassed&#8230;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>was driving my daughter and her friends home last night when a Taxi came up fast behind me. I was traveling at 50KPH. He stayed so close to me that at  times I could not see his lights. I intentionally slowed down for two reasons;<br />
1. I won&#8217;t be bullied into driving over the speed limit, and<br />
2. I feared if he rear ended me, better to do it at a slower speed.</p>
<p>My daughter eventually got his licence plate number. This took along time as he was driving so near.</p>
<p>My question is, Who can/should I complain this type of aggressive dangerous driving to?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was on the M1 this morning approaching the Dundalk exit going north when I witnessed another DKIT (Dundalk Institute of Technology) Hot hatchback screaming up in the outside lane all over the back of another driver who was overtaking me at the time. I was under cruise control at 120 on the inside lane.</p>
<p>This pratt in his Cork reg civic then decided a bit of undertaking was in order and decided to pull in and then out as quick as he could. Stupid intimidation.</p>
<p>I was going to the college on business and found the car and called the Guards. Whilst I couldn&#8217;t be arsed going to court I explained I would like someone to &#8220;have a word&#8221;. The Guard promised me they would be talking to him this morning.</p>
<p>DKIT car park is full of happy go lucky students and hatchback cars &#8230; some racers. Most are sensible proud car owners but some take the biscuit on the roads surrounding the college. It is easily accessed from the North, South and Midlands so many travel considerable journeys. The M1 is a dangerous raceway in the morning and the guards too underfunded to manage it &#8230; students need selfcontrol. I wonder what the college does about road safety&#8230; the authorities there must have seen the road behaviour themselves.</p>
<p>I hope my white Civic driver got his visit today &#8230; even if he didn&#8217;t &#8230; I feel good about reporting him!</p>
